Retraction Watch article: New feature aims to draw journals into post-publication comments on PubPeer

Not sure if this will be of interest to anybody but thought I might as well post it.

There are so many good and important comments made criticising junk CFS papers on pubmed commons.... not seen a single researcher respond to them.

 

Yet I think it could be extremely helpful to have all of David Tuller's ( @dave30th ) criticism, also regarding MUS, on pubpeer, too. Could be also better searchable than Virology blog and S4ME.

Since there are sometimes people asking for easy volunteer work, perhaps this could be a project worth working on?

Edited to add link to PubPeer.

 

I wonder if it's possible to also post links to forum discussions, including critique on biomedical research papers, with some quotes?

 

not aware of PubPeer before;
PACE trial is up there

eta: doesn't seem that difficult to add a comment.

might be partly because (if the PACE trial entry is anything to go by, they don't have all the authors email addresses (this is on PubPeer, don't know about pubmed commons).

 

Not ME or MUS related, but some maybe interesting interaction on PubPeer following criticism of biomedical research:

Code:

Perhaps worthwhile to keep putting criticism on all sort of badly designed ME and MUS research on that platform, too? (Plus, always ensure to add the authors' e-mail addresses?)

(Apologies for being repetitive -- just saw I posted the same idea a while ago.)

From another thread:

There's also an extension for Firefox -- works on my laptop both with windows 10 and ubuntu (dual boot).

A note and link to comments on PubPeer pop up wherever papers are cited -- including on S4ME and in papers' references.

Edit: There's also an extension for Safari/ Apple
